Nach langer Pause stelle ich heute wieder einmal einen Künstler der fotografischen Zunft vor. Es handelt sich dabei um Alexandra Sophie aus dem französischen Belfort. Alexandra ist junge 17 Jahre alt und hat sich alles selbst bei gebracht. An ihren Fotos mag ich die Verträumtheit, das Spielerische und das Nachdenkliche.
Alexandra Sophie:
I don’t know what motivates me to take photos, really. It’s a need, I love to do that, and I always feel so excited about new photoshoot or opportunities. I have particular views of our world and really want to show it to everyone. I love romanticness, softness, love, care, dreams, fairies… I’m a simple girl with tons of dreams. I had to stop school early because of health problems, and have been the girl that everyone laugh at, and to take photos is a little like a revenge, especially because all the persons who had fun of me ask me to take their pictures! But my mind is really away from revenge, angriness, pain… I just want to see the future now. I have been sitting on that bench, looking the people running to don’t miss the bus, I’ve been standing against that wall and watching teenagers going out from school, and laughing at each others. Then I realized that it don’t fit at all with what we used to tell in the fairytales. I felt sad and nostalgic to see everyone ready to kill to get a job, and I gave to myself the mission to prove to everyone that softness, love, innocence, dream-time are still there. An harmonic world between us and nature, where everyone care about each others and feel free to love.I use a canon eos 400D (a little DSLR camera), and two lenses. A 18-55mm (was with the camera), and my beloved 50mm (that I use 99,99% of the time since I have it!).
My main dream is to have a cosy and secure life with my fiancé; children and cats. But photography-speaking ; I would love to shoot for very famous fashion magazines all over the world and get to travel everywhere on Earth (and below) with my fiancé, and oh, I would absolutely love to have at least one of my work used for a book cover. I hope my work helps people to escape!
